Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Fetal genotyping: Amniotic fluid
Cultured amniocytes: Two T-25 flasks at 80 percent confluency.
If the client is unable to culture, order test Cytogenetics Grow and Send (ARUP test code 0040182) in addition to this test and ARUP will culture upon receipt (culturing fees will apply). If you have any questions, contact ARUP's Genetics Processing at 800-522-2787 ext. 3301.
AND Maternal cell contamination specimen: Lavender (EDTA), pink (K2EDTA), or yellow (ACD solution A or B).

Specimen Preparation

Amniotic fluid: Transport 10 mL amniotic fluid in a sterile container. (Min: 5 mL)
OR Cultured amniocytes: Transport two T-25 flasks at 80 percent confluency filled with culture media. Backup cultures must be retained at the client's institution until testing is complete.
Maternal cell contamination specimen: Transport 3 mL whole blood. (Min: 1 mL)
Whole blood (parental genotyping): Transport 3 mL whole blood. (Min: 1 mL)

Storage/Transport Temperature

Amniotic fluid, cultured amniocytes: CRITICAL ROOM TEMPERATURE. Must be received within 48 hours of shipment due to lability of cells.
Whole blood or maternal cell contamination specimen: Refrigerated.

Unacceptable Conditions

Frozen specimens in glass collection tubes.
